It's quite odd; the last three seem to be giving me problems. The third last one - R6 - sometimes starts streaming (but usually, it doesn't) and the two after that have never started streaming. All the others seem highly reliable; just these last three are not behaving,

There were some errors in the list of URLs that I posted. Here is a corrected version:

If anyone was interested, using BubbleDS Next, I noted the streamed URL for the radio station (Radio 4 in this example) and added this URL to Tunein as a custom URL. Now I can choose the nice new AAC stations from the standard 'Radio' input.

can I just confirm that only R3 in this list plays at 320, all the others 128, as it's the only one with "sbr_high" in its URL, rather than just "high"?

I've added a BBC local radio station to my m3u file and that plays at 320, as does Radio 2 once I edited the URL to add "sbr_"

As I said, these were the URLs that I used for testing (intentionally a mix of different bitrates). You can change all the URLs (except for World Service) to sbr_high to get 320 kbps versions of the streams.

Fantastic! I can now enjoy all the new HLS BBC streams in 320kbps AAC on my DS.
I made a playlist with all of the known (UK only) 320kbps streams. Note these won't work outside the UK (the international URLs are slightly different and are limited to 96kbps AAC+):

Edit: if you want to listen outside the UK, replace the "../uk/sbr_high/.." part of the URL with "../nonuk/sbr_low/.."

For those not familiar with MinimServer:

Save the above BBC Radio playlist as the text file "BBC Radio.m3u" in a new folder on your machine or NAS. Be very careful with the format of the file, as when you copy & paste the above lines you might get some unwanted extras. There should be no space before the first character on each line, for example.
